Yesterday a Day of Bight-Seeing at
Chicago— Marshal Field’s Store, the
Board of Trade Auditorium and
Other Places Visited—A Banquet at
Night— The Tampa Route Indorsed.
Chicago, Oct. 22.—Early this evening
Minister Romero of Mexico received a tele
gram from Secretary of State Blaine stating
that rumors had reached him that the
visitors were so weary that they would pre
fer to abandon their trip, and asking if this
were so. A meeting of tho visitors was
held this evening, and a telegram was sent
to Secretary Blaine stating that the rumors
referred to in his message were without
fouiidatiou; that the enthusiasm of the re
ceptions was increasing, and was equaled
ooiy by the appreciation of the guests.
A DAY OF SIGHT-SEEING.
This was a day of sight-seeing for the
delegates. Promptly at 10 o’clock the
members of the citizens’ reception com
mittee ware on hand at the hotel, and as
fa> as the members of the party came
down from the breakfast table* they were
placed in the care of the committee
men uud taken to see the objects
of interest near by. These in order were:
The emporium of Marshal Field, board of
trade auditorium, Studebaker’s carriage
repository, and thence to Dunham’s stock
farm, twelve miles from the city.
A BANQUET AT NIGHT.
At 7:30 o’clock this evening they were
entertained at a banquet at the Grand
Pacific hotel, where at least 400 guests sat
d„wn, Senator Farwell presiding. Gov.
Fifer welcomed the strangers, and he was
followed in speeches by Minister Romero of
texico. United States Delegate Charles R.
Flint, George R. Blanchard, chairman of
tie Central Traffic Association; ex-Miuister
to Russia Rambert: Tree, and Senor Justus
Alfonso, the Chiliau delegate.
THE ROUTE VIA TAMPA.
Subsequently all tho delegates visited the
Chicago world’s fair headquarters, where
an inSormal discussion of the prospects of
increasing the trade between the Americas
developed considerable good feeling toward
the project which has been indorsed by the
Chicago board of trade, looking to
ward the establishment of a fast
freight line between Chicago and
Tampa and South American ports. This
project seems to meet tho views of the dele
gates, and one of them unhesitatingly
inserted that if Chicago succeeds in carry
ing it out, it will be of immeasurable benefit
to South America, Chicago, and the south
generally.
RAVAGED BY DI&EASE.
Typhoid Fever and Diphtheria De
populating an Ohio Town.
Fremont, 0., Oct. 22. —The village of
Woodville, in this county, is a terribly
ravaged place. Nearly ono-third of the 800
versons in the town are the victims of
typhoid fever and diphtheria. Last week
there were ten deaths from typhoid fever
and nearly that number from diph
theria. Dr. Busch, the leading physician,
has about fifty cases under his care. Great
excitement prevails in the town, and busi
ness is entirely suspended. Woodville having
no hoard of health, the state board of health
was not notified of the scourge until last
week.
AN OUTBREAK AT NEW HAVEN.
New Haven, Conn., Oct. 22.—Typhoid
fever symptoms among the Yale students
are causing increased uneasiness. To-day
several men who showed symptoms of
typhoid in a mild form and several suffering
from typhoid malaria were sent to their
homes to recuperate. The faculty also
grants leave of absence to any student
who feels at all unwell and desires
a few days’ change. This privilege has been
taken advantage of by a number of men,
some of whom have undoubtedly made a
pretext to secure a short holiday. A ma
jority of tho men who have been ill have
rooms away from the college in
different parts of the city, and
there is no unusual sickness
among the townspeople in the sections
where the students have resided. The sick
men who live on the campus have rooms in
"idely separated dormitories, and there
S'oms to be no specific cause for the present
outbreak.
AN ALABAMA HORROR.

RALEIGH’S BANK WRECKERS.
Their Case Argued Before the United
States Supreme Court.
Washington, Oct. 22.— Argument was
begun in the supreme court of the United
States to-day in the well-known case of
Charles E. Cross and Samuel C. White, de
faulting president and cashier, respectively,
of the State National Bank of Raleigh, N.
C., against the state of North Carolina.
Cross and White were indicted in the North
Carolina state court for forgery. It was
alleged that they forged a note for the pur
pose of sustaining certain false entries they
had made in the hank’s i>ooks, the intention
being to deceive the national bank ex
aminer, whose duty it was to examine and
report upon the financial condition
of the bank. The bank, at
the time, was iu an insolvent
condition, and its officers were anxious to
hide its true condition from the examiner.
The two mou wero convicted and sentenced.
When arraigned the defendants objected to
the jurisdiction of the state court, contend
ing that the orirae alleged was one against
the laws of the United States, and, there
fore, cognizable in the federal and not tho
state court.
OUTCOME OF THEIR TRIAL.
The court, however, overruled this plea,
and the case went to trial. The jury at
first reported that they had been unable to
agree, but when they were polled by the
judge in open court it was ascertained that
tie jury was agreed on a verdict of guilty
on the first two counts, but were divided on
the last two. The prosecuting attorney
thereupon entered a nul. pros, as to the
latter two counts, and the jury
their brought in a verdict of
guilty. It is maintained in behalf
of Cross and White that this action of tho
judge in polling the jury deprived them of
their constitutional rights under the Four
teenth amendment. It is on these two
questions of tho jurisdiction of the state
court and of the polling of the jury that
the case comes before the supreme court for
decision. W. R. Henry appeared in behaif
of Cross and White. Attorney General
Davidson of North Carolina represented
the state.
STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
None Paid by the British Government
as Reported.
Washington, Oct 23. —The subsidy
seekers are always talking about the sub
sidies conferred on steamship lines by the
British government.
They will hardly relish the following
report from Consul-General John C. New,
dated London, Sept. 3, and just published
by the state department:
The British government does not grant sub
sidies. In the general sense of that term, to
auy steamship company, but the postoflice
authorities make contracts for the conveyance
of mails to the different parts of the world with
the steamship companies having steamers sail
ing to those ports.
1 transmit herewith two copies of the “Ar
rangements of the Foreign and Colonial Packet
Service,’’corrected to July 1,1889, a publication
issued by the British postoffice, giving a list of
the contracts entered into with the different
steamship companies for the conveyance of
mails by sea, showing the lines of communica
tion, how often dispatched, payment made to
each company, etc No payment other than
for the conveyance of malls is specially made
for maintaining communication between Great
Britain and Central and South America and
the West Indies.
1 inclose a statement of the amount paid by
the British postoftice for the conveyance of
mails for the last twenty years, also statements
showing the average rates of freight charge J
by the steamship companies conveying the
mails to the ports of Colon, La Guayra, Rio do
Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, and Valparaiso. lam
informed that the British government grants
some aid to companies building large steam
ships, with a contract that such vessels shall in
time of war be called into the service of the
government as warships and transports, but
the amount of such payments 1 have not been
able to ascertain.
DRAWBACK ON BAGGING.
The Principals Must Sign the Final
Entry in Peraon.
Washington, Oct. 22.—A number of ex
porters of cotton at New Orleaus recently
petitioned for a modification of the treasury
department decision of Aug. 19, 1889, so as
to permit attorneys to sign the fiual entry
and oath of exportation for drawback on
jute bagging exported as covering
of cotton in bales, notwithstanding
the presence of the principals at the port.
They represented that their business re
quired their presence in the cotton market
during the business hours of the custom
house, and that their more important in
terests would suffer if they were compelled
to attend personally at the collector’s
office. Assistant Secretary Tich
enor in a letter to the collector
on the subject says: “The reason adduced
by the applicants is not, in the opinion of
the department, of such a nature as to
justify a departure from the general rule
established upon due consideration of the
interests of the government, and the appli
cation is therefore denied.”
PROMOTED AFTER MANY YEARB.
Two Lieutenants Become Captains
After Twenty-Three Years'.
Washington, Oct. 22.— Two vacancies
in the quartermaster’s department have
been filled by the appointment of First
Lieut. Theodore E. True of the Fourth
infantry and First Lieut. John McE. Hyde
of the Eighth infantry. Both these officers
become captains after an unusually long
service in the grade of lieutenants, the
former having been a lieutenant in the
regular army for twenty-three years and
three mouths, and the latter twenty-two
years and two months. They both have
good records as volunteer privates and
officers.
Randall's Health Btill Poor.
Washington, D. C., Oct 22. —Repre-
sentative [Samuel J. Randall’s health lias
not improved as much as it was hoped it
might since he came here. His condition

become necessary for him to go south in
stead of going into the House of Represent

SAVANNAH, (iA„ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1889.
EPISCOPAL CHURCHMEN.
RICH RECRUITS WANTED AS WELL
AS POOR ONES.
A Report in Favor of Doing Something
for the Aged Clergy—The Sunday
School Work Unsatisfactory in Char
acter—The Next Convention to be
Held at Baltimore.
New York, Oct. 22.— There was a good
attendance at the Protestant Episcopal
convention to-day. Dr. Goodwin, on
behalf of the committee on canons, pre
sented a lengthy reoort, which was referred
to the next convention.
The committee on the state of the church
gave a detailed account of the work done
since the last convention. It sat forth that
the ministry should not look for recruits
among indigents only, but from the rich as
well. The report favored something being
done for the aged clergy, and dwelt at
length on the unsatisfactory character of
the Sunday school work. The report was
transmitted to the house of bishops.
Rev. Dr. Bliss of Vermont read the report
from the committee on Christian eddeation.
It states that the board of regonts is now
iu working order.
TO MEET AT BALTIMORE NEXT.
The committee appointed to select a place
for the next convention reported in favor
of Baltimore. The report was adopted and
the convention will be held there in 1892.
Beginning with to-day, evening sessions
will be held so that tho convention may
finish it3 labors by Thursday.
Tho entire set of versicles as amended
was adopted, and the house then proceeded
to discuss the revision of the liturgy. On
motion of Rev. Dr. Hart, it was decided
that Gloria Patria be printed at the end of
psalm 24.
A message from the house of bishops
recommending that the prayer of humble
access bo removed to a place immediately
before the administration of tho com
munion, was received, but the house of
deputies refused to concur in it.
Messages from the house of bishops were
received announcing concurrence in the
resolution that the next general convention
bo held in Baltimore, and that the present
one shall adjourn next Thursday evening.
At tho afternoon session Dr. Hart moved
the passage of section 3 in tho order of the
burial of the dead. It provides that iu
place of the rubric tho minister shall say
the Lord's prayer, with an exhortation
added. This was carried.
A canon providing additional prayers to
be added to the “Uraoe of Our Lord” was
also adopted.
The fifth section applying to the burial of
the dead at sea vras also passed.
The house concurred with the bi-hops on
the fourteenth division of the form of
prayer and thanksgiving.
HEADING OFF DIVOHC*.
Dr. Halo of lowa moved an amendment
to be used instead of the existing marriage
ceremony. The clause of it iuteuded to
cover the vexed questiou of divorce read:
“And live together in holy love unto their
life’s and.” This was adopted, and Dr.
Huntington immediately moved to recon
sider. An active debate followed, but Mr.
Hals’s amendment was approved for the
second time.
Another debate took place over the burial
of the dead service, and Dr. Huntington as
serted that the proposed changes made the
service savor too much of the Homan Catho
lic rites.
Dr. Taylor of Springfield held that the
proposed changes would tond to counteract
the gigantic evil of spiritualism. A motion
to coucur with the action of the bishops on
this question was lost.
The house of bishops sent three messages
on the question of liturgical revision, aud
the subject of the congregation sharing the
holy communion with the minister was
again brought up. The bishops recom
mended that the congregation be given
sufficient time to communicate. This was
concurred in.
The bishops also made changes in the
litany and in the order of the Lord’s Supper,
one of which changes was that the word
“bishop” bo substituted for the word
“priest.” This was concurred in.
A WASTE OF TIME.
The evening session of the house of depu
ties was not productive of much good. The
session commenced at 8 o’clock, with Dr.
Elliott of Maryland in the chair. After
reconsidering several of the resolutions
passed during the day, aud then reconsider
ing their reconsideration, the house ad
journed. A great deal of discussion was
indulged in, but no visible conclusion
arrived at.

teacher overtook him and whipped him to
death.

GERMANY’S PARLIAMENT.
SPEECH OF THE KAISER ON THE
RBICHSTAG’B OPENING.
Ths Body's Active Attention to be Di
rected Toward Measures That Will
Keep the Army Up to a Btandard
That Will Insure a Continuance of
European Peace.
Berlin, Oct. 22.—The Reichstag opened
to-day. Herr Von Boetticher, vice presi
dent of the Prussian ministry, read the
emperor’s speech from tho throne. The ad
dress says the active attention of the pres
eat Reichstag has been especially directed
to the securing of peace abroad and at
home, and the tasks of the forthcoming
session will be in the same direction. When
the Reichstag met in 1897 the foremost ob
ject was consolidation of the defensive
powers of the Fatherland. The Reichstag,
with patriotic appreciation oi the situation,
applied itself thereto. Your co-operation
to this end will be again claimed, in order
to dovelop the efficiency of the army and
its readiness for action in accordance with
whatever circumstances may arise, and
thereby impart to tho efforts of the em
peror and his exalted allies fur the preserva
tion of peace the weight which is their duo
in the council of nations.
A NEW MILITARY BILL.
A bill will he presented by the govern
ment amending the military law of May 2,
1874. It also provides for fresh distribution
of the army, and is intended to be in tho
interest of the teaming and conduct of tho
army, remedying the inequalities of organ
ization which haveariseu through strength
emrig the army aud the displacement of
troops from time to tima From this causo
arises the additional expenditures set forth
iu the budget.
The financial statement to be submitted
will present a not inconsiderable increase
in the matricular contributions of tbe several
states to tho army compared with those of
the current financial year. Nevertheless,
these contributions wiU not greatly exceed
the sum handed to the federal states from
the imperial revenue.
New socialist and banking bills ore also
announced to be introduced.
EAST AFRICAN AFFAIRS.
In East Africa (thanks to the approval of
the Reichstag) thorough measures for the
suppression of the slave trade aud the pro
tection of German interests have been
taken. The forces organized with tho
means provided by the Reichstag have,
conjointly with the navy, so far accom
plished their tasks, rendering it again po.-si
ble, after an agreement with tho other pnr
ticipating powers, to raise the blockade.
The Sultan of Zanzibar, moreover, lias
issued a comprehensive decree promising to
insure the abolition of slavery. Tho costof
the East African expedition could not he
limited to the sums granted by the law
passed in February, 1889. Therefore, anew
bill relative to the cost of tho expedition
will he submitted.
A special department to have charge of
colonial affairs will lie formed, in order to
relieve the foreign office of excessive work.
The hopes expressed by the emperor to tho
Reichstag on Nov. 22, 1888, that with God’s
help the peace of Europe would be sus
tained, have not only been realized, but
have gained strength as regards tho future,
owing to tho personal relations which tho
emperor has cultivated with the ruler* of
friendly allies, thereby helping to strength
en tho confidence felt abroad in the honest
love of peace animating Germany’s policy,
aud justifying the belief that European
peace, based on existing treaties, God help
ing, will be maintained during 1890.
The progressists offered a motion in the
Reichstag in favor of a reduction ox the
tariffs on swine and fresh jiork, aud also a
motion favoring the reduction of railway

The Battle Under the Auspices of
the Young Men’s Athletic Olub-No
Statute Against Prize Fighting,
Charleston, S. C., Oct. 22,-Not since
the earthquake tins this staid old town been
so shaken up a* it was to-day. Soon after
the Sulllvan-Kilrain affair an athletic club
similar to that in New Orleans was organ- ,
Ized. In its ranks are bankers, brokers, .
merchants, lawyers, reporters, and sports. !
The club is known as the Young Men’s j
Athletic Club, and its nrofeoor it W. 8.
I laytou, a native Carolinian, who, it is
understood, took charge of it. After a'
good deal of sparring, Mike Donovan, a
New York light-weight pugilist, came here,,
aud arrangements wero made to have a
fight to tho finish between Clayton aud
Donovan.
TIME FOR THE MILL. ,

at 7 o clock at Hibernian park, a snburbau
picnic ground about four miles from the

)OU, 1400 to go to tbe winner and SIOO to
tho loser. The amount was raised by 100
members of the Young Men’s Athletic!
Club, who purchased tickets at $6 each.
I he police got wiud of the affair, and when
tho spectators and the fighters arrived on
the grounds this morning they found a
police patrol wagon on the spot. Therw
was a parley, but the police were unyield
ing, and so the fight had to be postponed.

over what is called tho unwarrantable
action of the police. There is no law against
prize lighting on the statute books. It is
claimed by the police that a prize fight ie a
breach of tho peace, ami they say they
wou’t allow one to occur if they can pre
vent it. The Young Man’s Athletic Club,
however, has chartered <: Miner, and the
fight will come off on rsiiay next on
one of the numerous isla .u, in Charleston
harbor.
